On Saturday the 12th
of November 2016 Kathy Doughty will give a talk for the Quilt Study Group of
NSW about her experiences of designing quilting fabrics.

Kathy is well known to
Guild members as a maker and designer of quilts, a judge at quilt shows, owner of Material Obsession quilt shop, and writer of popular quilting books. She has also designed
three ranges of quilting fabrics - “Trail Blazing”, “Flock Together” and “A
Wandering Mind”. Her latest fabric line, “Folk Art Revolution”, has
recently arrived in shops.

She will talk to us about
why she produced her own fabric ranges, the steps involved and her experience
of dealing with this aspect of the quilt industry. If you have ever wondered
about this important element of our art creation, please bring your friends
along to hear Kathy speak.

The talk will start at
2pm on Saturday the 12th November 2016 in The Meeting Room at The
Glover Cottages, 124 Kent Street
in Millers Point. Entry is $5 for Guild members and $10 for non-Guild members.
Afternoon tea is provided.
